Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for transesterifying (meth)acrylic esters with especially polyfunctional alkanols using a catalyst.
  • di- and triorganotin compounds effectively catalyse esterification and transesterification reactions of (meth)acrylic acid and (meth)acrylic esters.
  • the advantageous effects of the catalysts described there include high catalytic activity, low tendency to dehydration, especially of secondary alcohols, and high ester yields.
  • EP 663386 describes a process for transesterifying (meth)acrylic esters with especially polyfunctional alkanols using a mixed catalyst consisting of diorganyltin oxide and organyltin halide.
  • EP 663386 specifies a reaction time of 14 hours for preparing pentaerythrityl tetramethacrylate. In addition, only 78 mol % of pentaerythrityl tetramethacrylate is isolated.
  • the object is achieved by a process for preparing acrylic and methacrylic esters by transesterifying (meth)acrylic esters of the formula I:
  • R 1 is H or CH 3 and R 2 is an alkyl radial having 1 to 6 carbon atoms with alkanols which have four or more esterifiable hydroxyl groups, characterized in that the transesterification catalyst used is 0.01 to 10% by weight, based on the entire reaction mixture, of lithium amide catalysts.
  • the notation (meth)acrylate represents the esters of (meth)acrylic acid and here means both methacrylate, for example methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, etc., and acrylate, for example methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, etc., and mixtures of the two.
  • catalysts from the group of the lithium amides can be used preferentially.
  • the alkanols used in the transesterification preferably have four or more esterifiable hydroxyl groups, for example pentaerythritol, erythritol or threitol.
  • R′′′ is an unbranched or branched, aliphatic or aromatic radical having 4 to 40 carbon atoms.
  • Examples of representatives of penta- and hexafunctional alkanols which can be used as transesterification components include: arabinitol, ribitol, xylitol, sorbitol, glucitol and mannitol, all known as sugar alcohols (cf., for example, Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd Ed., Vol. 1, pages 754 to 789, John Wiley, New York, 1978).
  • the acrylic or methacrylic esters of the formula I used may, for example, be: alkyl (meth)acrylates of straight-chain, branched or cycloaliphatic alcohols having from 1 to 40 carbon atoms, for example, methyl(meth)acrylate, ethyl(meth)acrylate, n-butyl(meth)acrylate, i-butyl(meth)acrylate, tert-butyl(meth)acrylate, pentyl(meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl(meth)acrylate, stearyl(meth)acrylate, lauryl(meth)acrylate, cyclohexyl(meth)acrylate, isobornyl(meth)acrylate; aryl(meth)acrylates, for example benzyl(meth)acrylate or phenyl(meth)acrylate, each of which may have unsubstituted or mono- to tetrasubstituted
  • the reaction of acrylic or methacrylic esters of the formula I with the tetra- or polyfunctional alkanols is carried out in the presence of 0.01 to 10% by weight of catalyst, preferably of 0.1 to 5% by weight, more preferably of 0.2 to 2% by weight of catalyst, based on the overall reaction mixture.
  • the reaction of acrylic or methacrylic esters of the formula I with the tetra- or polyfunctional alkanols is carried out at temperatures between 30 and 180° C., preferably between 50 and 130 degrees in the presence of 0.01 to 10% by weight, preferably of 0.1 to 5% by weight, more preferably of 0.2 to 2% by weight, based on the overall reaction mixture, of the lithium amide catalyst.
  • the process may be carried out in any inert aprotic solvent. Preference is given to aliphatic or aromatic solvents, particular preference to xylene, toluene or cyclohexane.
  • inhibitors which prevent free-radical polymerization of the (meth)acrylic groups during the reaction may be added. These inhibitors are widely known in the technical field.
  • R 6 is a linear or branched alkyl radical having one to eight carbon atoms, halogen or aryl, preferably an alkyl radical having one to four carbon atoms, more preferably methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, Cl, F or Br;
  • o is an integer in the range from one to four, preferably one or two;
  • R 7 is hydrogen, a linear or branched alkyl radical having one to eight carbon atoms or aryl, preferably an alkyl radical having one to four carbon atoms, more preferably methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl or tert-butyl.
  • R 6 and o are each as defined above.
  • Phenols of the general structure (V) are likewise used
  • R 8 is a linear or branched alkyl radical having one to eight carbon atoms, aryl or aralkyl, propionic esters with mono- to tetrahydric alcohols which may also contain heteroatoms such as S, O and N, preferably an alkyl radical having one to four carbon atoms, more preferably methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl.
  • a further advantageous class of substances is that of hindered phenols based on triazine derivatives of the formula (VI)
  • R 10 C p H 2p+1
  • the content of the inhibitors is generally 0.01-0.50% (wt./wt.), the concentration of the inhibitors preferably being selected such that the colour number to DIN 55945 is not impaired. Many of these inhibitors are commercially available.
  • (Meth)acrylic esters of the formula I and hydroxyl groups of the tetra- or polyfunctional alkanols react to give the desired end products.
  • the (meth)acrylic esters I it is appropriate to keep the (meth)acrylic esters I in excess during the reaction, the (meth)acrylic acid I being used in amounts of 1.2 to 15 mol, preferably 2 to 10 mol, per mole of hydroxyl groups.
  • the reaction can be carried out under standard pressure, reduced pressure or elevated pressure, and can be conducted batchwise or continuously.
  • the reactants (meth)acrylic ester I and tetra- or polyfunctional alkanol are heated to reaction temperature together in the presence of the lithium amide catalyst, and the eliminated alkanol R 2 OH and the excess (meth)acrylic ester I are distilled off continuously, preferably together in an azeotrope.
  • the reaction times are generally between 1 and 20 hours, preferably between 2 and 8 hours, and depend upon the reaction temperature or upon the amount of catalyst used. It is also possible to carry out the reaction in the presence of an inert solvent, for example toluene, or cyclohexane.
  • the excess (meth)acrylic ester I is removed from the reaction product partly or preferably fully, for example by distilling it off. Subsequently, the removal of the catalyst is effected by filtration.
  • the tetra- or polyfunctional (meth)acrylic esters are outstanding copolymers for reactions in which crosslinking is desired during the polymerization.
  • they are used in coatings, dental applications, adhesives, in vulcanization or radiative curing.
  • the batch is introduced into the reaction apparatus and dewatered, then the batch is cooled. At approx. 80° C., lithium amide is added and the reaction temperature is increased again.
  • the methanol formed is distilled as the MMA/methanol azeotrope through a column head. Once the column head temperature no longer falls, the reaction is ended after a reaction time of 6.7 h and at a reaction temperature of 101° C. to 113° C.
